Shandong Gold Mining Co, China's third largest, said its profit in 2008 surged 72 percent from 2007 to 637 million yuan ($93.13 million), or 1.80 yuan a share, driven by high gold prices and increased output.

The Shanghai-listed miner projected a further 50 percent increase in 2009 earnings to 950 million yuan on sales of 16 billion yuan.

Shandong Gold said it plans to produce 17.46 tons of gold this year.
